Boulder, CO District Attorney Asks Feds To Back Off Medical Marijuana

Joe | Mar 14, 2012 | Comments 3

Boulder, Colorado District Attorney Stan Garnett is asking the federal government to back off its recent targeting of his state for a crackdown on medical marijuana.

In a letter to the top federal prosecutor in Colorado, District Attorney Garnett said he wanted the feds to leave dispensaries complying with state law alone.

“I can see no legitimate basis in this judicial district to focus the resources of the United States government on the medical marijuana dispensaries that are otherwise compliant with Colorado law or local regulation,” Garnett wrote in the letter.

Mostly having to do with pharmaceutical companies putting pressure on the politicians they have donated money to. Big pharma doesn’t like competition.

We applaud Stan Garnett for expressing his opinion to the federal government and standing up for those in his city and state, even though it will probably cost him some big campaign contributions later in his career.

    On the contrary I think he will get a large amount of support and contributions for future campaigns. His courage and intelligence is refreshing and all the medical patients and people who want to smoke weed should applaud and support him!

    Would that the public officials of California would do the will of the people rather than the dictates of big financial donors.

    I think it would be wonderful to have a DA that supports State law. Here in Fresno County, California, the DA’s lips are painted on.

    The Sheriff has invited the Feds into her fiefdom because she has decided she does not like CA laws. She is helping the Feds in every way she possibly can. She goes to DC once a quarter to report on the scourge of weed in her County, and receives her good dog pat on the head. With her assistance, as of March 1, Fresno County has no place to safely purchase your meds (The street gangs are in LOVE with her!). If she finds a dispensary, she could issue a citation, but, that is not how she works. She calls her DC handlers and they all descend like the Taliban is in the building.

    She is a camera hog and loves seeing herself on the news. A note here: Last week, her jail let out 2, TWO, murderers by acccident: OOPS! Did she show up on camera for that? NOOooo way!

    Her next problem: How does one stop delivery service in a dry County?
